  • PASCHAL HOURS Through the Prayers of Our Holy Fathers, O Lord
    PASCHAL HOURS (The following is sung during the entire Bright Week in place of the Hours, Compline, Midnight Office and Morning and Evening Prayers.) Through the prayers of our holy fathers, O Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Amen. Christ is risen from the dead, trampling on death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. (Thrice) Having beheld the Resurrection of Christ, let us adore the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless One. We worship Thy Cross, O Christ, and Thy holy Resurrection we praise and glorify; for Thou art our God, and we know no other than Thee; we call on Thy Name. O come all you faithful, let us worship Christ’s holy Resurrection. For behold, through the Cross joy has come to all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, let us praise His Resurrection. By enduring the Cross for us He destroyed death by death. (Thrice) Hypakoe: Forestalling the dawn, the women with Mary came and found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, and heard from the Angel: Why seek among the dead, as if He were a man, Him Who lives in everlasting light? Behold the grave-clothes. Run and tell the world that the Lord is risen, and has slain death. For He is the Son of God Who saves mankind. Kontakion: Though Thou didst descend into the grave, O Immortal One, yet didst Thou destroy the power of hell, and didst rise again as Conqueror, O Christ our God, saying to the myrrhbearing women, Rejoice! And giving peace to Thine Apostles, and offering to the fallen resurrection.

  • Baiter Customs of Lancaster County by ELIZABETH CLARKE KIEFFER
    Baiter Customs of Lancaster County By ELIZABETH CLARKE KIEFFER I F YOU ask any of the students from Baghdad, of whom there I are usually two or three at Franklin and Marshall College, if they are familiar with Easter eggs, you will receive an enthusias- tic response in the affirmative. You will find that not only are colored eggs exchanged and eaten as a symbol of the resurrection, in Iraq; but that little boys on the banks of the Tigris "pick" eggs at Easter time with the same formalities and rules observed on the banks of the Rhine, and those of the Susquehanna. They know that a "point" can usually break a "butt;" they test the thickness of shells with their teeth; they consider it unfair to protect too much of the surface with encircling fingers, but fool- hardy to neglect this precaution entirely. These Iraqian boys even know that a guinea egg is the best "picker," and if you are as- tonished to learn that they have guinea-keets in Mesopotamian chicken-yards, you will find them equally surprised to learn that we have this African bird in America. The egg, indeed, is the universal Easter symbol, whether it be the hand-colored egg, common to peasants of all countries and all creeds; the elaborately decorated chocolate egg, and the hollow sugar egg with pictures inside, that grace our luxurious American Easter; the painted glass darning egg, that children gave their mothers in the nineties; the cardboard egg filled with candy or gifts; or the marvelous jewelled eggs, worth a considerable for- tune, which Russian princesses gave to one another in the days of the czars, and which now are found exclusively in American museums.
